Cindy Sherman as herself in the NYT. Her 35-year retrospective runs at the MOMA through June 11. |
Queen of the self-portrait,
distorter of her own features,
dresser in thrift shop costumes,
wearer of wigs and facepaint,
pretending to be who she's not,
titling nothing, complex and dark,
like the rest of us, with this difference:
she has worked at one idea all her life
without repeating herself,
unafraid of her wicked imagination,
following where that leads.
